Trying to improve my carving and have a book by "ian Norbry" called "Sculpting the feamale face & figure ib wood " just thought he could teach me a thing or two.
I am trying to carve the "Samburu Girl" the basic pattern is in his book but the size of his sculpture is 7.5" x 11" x 15" so a little modification of his drawing is needed to fit in with what i want.
1st the sie had to reduce it to 6" h x3" wide and 2.75" and put a 45 degree angle on the base to sit on a shank.
I have some teak wood just thought that the samburu are from kena the colour would be good..They women well known are excepertionally beautiful
.They have resisted european culture and maintain there ancient ways of life
Ian Norbury origanal piece was carved in walnut
The 1si pics are of ian Norbury piece the my own drawings taken from it
Photos no 3 to6 are the planing. photo 7 is centering the peice to acept a threaded bar before cutting the base at a 45 degree angle for mounting. 8&9 is cutting of the blank 9 getting into the round
